Today MUG debuts our vision for 2028! DSA needs a presidential candidate to run on our program—our vision for a real democracy and a socialist revolution! Only a democratic process in DSA can make that candidate possible.
@ProleBlues@donaldp1917 And I'm saying the students should complete their education and not "drop out of college and go move boxes for UPS".
They can fight for socialism as "educated" workers as well.
@ProleBlues@donaldp1917 And why limit it to the "non-educated" proletariat?
If your point is that it was a mistake for the New Left to see students as the new revolutionary subject, I agree.
@ProleBlues@donaldp1917 I think that's certainly true. I'm more responding to the suggestion that kids should "drop out of college and go move boxes for UPS".
IMO this will never be convincing to a large number of kids.
Yes, the climate mvmt's focus on blocking bad stuff has little to show for it. A union-led politics of *delivering* infrastructure has much more promise.
Yes, it should be basic to Marxism that labor productivity gains under capitalism can be harnessed for social good/free time.
